These speakers are designed for use in marine and other outdoor applications. They are constructed with a polypropylene/mica speaker woofer cone and PEI tweeter, which are resistant to both water and ultraviolet rays, making them ideally suited to installation on the outside of a boat, by a pool, or just about anywhere outdoors.

The speaker cone has a rubber edge for both flexibility and water resistance. There is also a rubber seal inside the mounting holes, which helps keep the back of the speakers dry. They have thick, impact-resistant, white plastic face plate, which will withstand bumps and scrapes without breaking or scratching.

This model features a 6 1/2" woofer cone and a 13mm PEI dome tweeter. It has an impedance of 4 ohms and is suited for use with amplifiers rated for 80 watts per channel.

Pros: To begin with let me say that I haven't had a chance to run the speakers for a long period to discern the sound quality at peak levels. That being said, speakers showed up real quick! I beleive within a day! My boat's 4 speakers were crapped out with only one working. I wasn't sure if it was wiring related or the speakers, but for the price of these speakers I couldn't go wrong. Plus, the speakers in the boat were probably original or close to it and that would make them 20 years old. Needless to say I plugged them in and everything worked great. Sound was loud, clear, and deep. But, as I said, they haven't been used out on the water for an entire day, and competing against the sound of the motor and the wind.

Cons: None that I can think of. For the price you can't go wrong. EVEN if they don't sound great at peak levels, the stereo has no amp so that would probably help the sound. Head units can't push speakers well so I have no big illusions.

Well worth the money to purchase. I gave it an 8 only because I haven't run them long enough, but that's not a knock on the speakers, their overall sound, or the build quality.

Absolutely Amazing

Pros: Amazing sound and price. Surprising amount of bass.

Cons: None.

I recently needed to replace the factory speakers in my boat (2005 Yamaha AR230). I have never really been satisfied with the stock speakers so we didn't use the sound system much on the lake. I've thought about installing an expensive systems for some time, but in the end I just decided that we would stick with the stock JVC head unit and add a Bluetooth dongle to get some modern connectivity. In the end I just changed wanted to cheaply change the worn speakers to have the system functional. I was not expecting what I heard on the lake today...these got very loud and had absolutely no distortion from the stock head unit...no matter how loud I drove them. The bass response was enough to make the fiberglass shake and my wife actually had to ask me to turn it down for the first time. :-) If you are looking at these as a factory replacement, I do not believe you will be disappointed. Once in awhile you get something for a good price and it far exceeds your expectations...Monoprice seems to make a habit of making goods that fit this category. This is one good deal!

Awesome Speakers Just Buy Them, You Will Be Happy

Pros: clean design
easy install
great sound
unreal value

Cons: none

Simply AMAZING!
If you are putting speakers on your boat do not waste your money on a major brand name. These will equal or surpass your expectations. I took a chance on buying these knowing if they were bad I didn't have much invested. This said, I am blown away by the sound quality.
I also like their design and no logo printed across the speaker.

Great speaker (even more so with the great price)

Pros: Great price, really good sound

Cons: Grills attached to speaker (unable to remove and paint)

This is a really good set of speakers for the money. I needed to replace a set of 10 year old speakers on my fish & ski and was just about to pull the trigger on a set of Polks when I saw these speakers. Was I ever glad that I did, construction looks solid, they sound great and I saved ~$75
